Guidelines

Teams will have 5 minutes to pitch their idea to the judging panel, followed by 3 – 5 minutes of Q&A. Pitches will be judged based on feasibility, team, incorporation of Georgetown’s Jesuit values, and overall presentation. All Georgetown students are all eligible to participate. 

Undergraduate

Registration Deadline: Sunday, March 24th

Each undergraduate team will be assigned two pitch slots and will pitch before two different judging panels on the the same evening. Teams may indicate their preferred night (Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday) at the time of the application, and will be notified of their assigned pitch slots by Saturday, March 30th.

Each night, there will be a registration table located at the entrance to the Hariri building, and we ask that teams check-in at least 15 minutes prior to the time slot assigned for their first pitch.  

Graduate

MBA, MED, and Wild Card Registration Deadline: Sunday, March 24th 

SFS and SCS Registration Deadline: Monday, March 11th

Graduate teams will compete in their respective divisions, pitching once in front of a panel of judges. The top team from each division will advance to the Georgetown Entrepreneurship Challenge Finals. 

Please stay updated with your school’s feeder competition, as location and time will vary between divisions.
